Resumen

This article examines the economic policies of the two administrations of Lula Da Silva, highlighting his incredible popularity in which he concluded his eight years in the Brazilian government. It explains the orthodox and heterodox orientations of its principal economic measures, and how they differ from those developed by his predecessor, Fernando Henrique Cardoso. The article also distinguishes the main points of the policies in each of the two presidencies of Lula: more continuity in the first, more interventionist in the second.
